agar tha unko jana hi
khushi se wo chale jate
magar jane se pahle hame
kuch to kah jate
kuch aur nahi to
ye sahi rote rahe aur yaad karo
tum rote rahe aur yaad karo

hansi hontho pe aayi thi
nahi ham muskura paye
nahi ham muskura paye
khushi aankho mein chhai thi
magar ham dekh na paye
magar ham dekh na paye
chhalke aansu aur kah ke gire
rote rahe aur yaad karo
chhalke aansu aur kah ke gire
rote rahe aur yaad karo
tum rote rahe aur yaad karo

siskne bhi nahi pate
tadpane bhi nahi pate
tadpane bhi nahi pate
kahani apne sukh dukh ki
kisi se kah nahi paate
kisi se kah nahi paate
murjhai kali man ki kahke
rote rahe aur yaad karo
murjhai kali man ki kahke
rote rahe aur yaad karo
tum rote rahe aur yaad karo

lagi aasha hame unki
lagi aasha hame unki
na jite hai na marte
wo jaye wo jaye
unhi ki yaad karte hai
ek baar wo aake kah jaye
rote rahe aur yaad karo
ek baar wo aake kah jaye
rote rahe aur yaad karo
tum rote rahe aur yaad karo

If farewell was their decree,
Joyfully they should have departed.
But before their vanishing,
A word, a whisper, imparted.
If nothing more, then simply this:
Weep, and remember this.
You wept, and remember this.

A smile bloomed upon their lips,
Yet we could not find our own.
We could not find our own.
Happiness in their eyes did slip,
But we were left alone, unknown.
But we were left alone, unknown.
Tears welled, spilling forth in streams,
Weep, and remember these dreams.
Tears welled, spilling forth in streams,
Weep, and remember these dreams.
You wept, and remember this.

We could not even sob aloud,
Nor could we truly writhe in pain.
Nor could we truly writhe in pain.
Our story of grief, unbowed,
To no one could we explain.
To no one could we explain.
The heart's withered bud, it would say,
Weep, and remember the day.
The heart's withered bud, it would say,
Weep, and remember the day.
You wept, and remember this.

Hope for them, it did arise,
Hope for them, it did arise.
Neither living, nor truly dead,
They depart, they depart, their guise.
We remember them, their words unsaid.
If only once they'd come and say,
Weep, and remember the way.
If only once they'd come and say,
Weep, and remember the way.
You wept, and remember this.
